BACKGROUND Hepatitis B and C virus infection is a lead cause of morbidity and mortality among hemodialysis patients. Yet, little research has focused on the morbidity measures of these serious disorders in low and middle income countries. The study aims to estimate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C among hemodialysis patients in the West Bank hospitals in Palestine. METHODS A retrospective ...

Data acquisition systems have a direct impact on interactivity and authenticity to the car driving simulator. According requirements of vehicle simulator complete multi-channel data processing with high speed precision, set real-time system was designed. The uses STM32F103ZET6 chip process acquisition, communicates host computer through serial port. experimental results show that designed has g...

Background: Patients with end stage renal disease have higher incidence of infection dis-eases that is thought to be related to impaired immune system. Objective: To determine the antitetanus IgG antibody level in Iranian hemodialysis patients with end stage renal disease and to find its association with sex, age, blood hemoglobin, serum albumin, dura-tion of dialysis, time of dialysis per week...

This paper describes an e-learning system with a real system and simulator for studying embedded system. Proposed e-learning system provides learners with three items for studying embedded system. First one is on-line textbook. Second one is a graphical simulator, and third one is a real system. The simulator consists of microprocessor and its peripheral circuit. The real system consists of sam...

The author describes an Airway Facilities (AF) simulator for human-in-the-loop research and training. The AF simulator is a flexible, self-contained system. A simuator of this type and complexity is unique in the realm of human-in-theloop simulation. It can be used as a platform for scientific research in human factors concepts, testing and validation of behavioral and performance measures, and...
